Kenyan preacher speaks on leaving pulpit ministry
In a video seen on his TikTok page, the preacher further said he would be stepping away from the ministry with his wife, Evangeline Karimi.
He discouraged people from talking him out of his decision through his wife, noting that she tried but failed. He said it was a privilege serving God with them, but kept mum on their next move.
He stated that the ministry was not a family business. This left many people speculating. His statement in the video read:
"My 16 years of ministry has come to an end. And what better way to say thank you than to leave you with a light, the light of the word of God. I'll be seeing you in another place.
"It has been a privilege serving God with you. It has been a privilege fighting with you. It has been a great privilege. And don't come to my wife to make my wife change my mind. She tried yesterday. He didn't work... I have loved serving in ministry this way.
"It has been my heart's passion. But like an eagle, I need to fly to higher heights. I'm still flying to the wise. They will understand I am not leaving my wife in charge. We are going with her. This is not a family business. It's been 16 years. I have done the little I can.
"It's nothing. There are people that have done 40 years. Whatever I'm still going to do is still ministry. It's just that it's not a pulpit. So pulpit ministry for me has come to an end."
